• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message DD_MT_SHARING_CHK016 - &1 After Import Method(s) found writing the object (or a DDIC view on it) ?

  The SAP error message DD_MT_SHARING_CHK016 typically indicates an issue related to the sharing of data dictionary objects, particularly when importing or modifying objects in the Data Dictionary (DDIC). This error can occur when there are inconsistencies or conflicts in the definitions of the objects being imported or modified.
  Cause:
  
  Object Locking: The object you are trying to modify or import may be locked by another user or process.
  Inconsistent Object Definitions: There may be inconsistencies between the object definitions in the source and target systems, especially if the object has been modified in one system but not in the other.
  Transport Issues: If the transport request is not correctly configured or if there are missing dependencies, this error can occur.
  Data Dictionary Views: If the object is a DDIC view, there may be issues with the underlying tables or fields that the view references.
  
  Solution:
  
  Check Object Locks: Use transaction code SM12 to check if the object is locked by another user. If it is, you may need to wait for the lock to be released or contact the user who has locked it.
  Consistency Check: Ensure that the definitions of the objects in the source and target systems are consistent. You can use transaction SE11 to compare the definitions.
  Transport Request Review: Review the transport request to ensure that all necessary objects and dependencies are included. You can use transaction SE09 or SE10 to check the transport logs.
  Re-import the Transport: If the issue persists, consider re-importing the transport request after ensuring that all dependencies are met.
  Check for Dependencies: If the object is a DDIC view, check the underlying tables and fields for any inconsistencies or missing definitions.
  Use Transaction SE14: If the issue is related to database objects, you can use transaction SE14 to check and adjust the database objects.
